Left my phone plugged in over night like a I always do. Woke up today and tried to turn the screen on but there was nothing. It wouldn't come on. Pressed the power button over and over but nothing. Tried a three finger reboot. Felt it vibrate signalling it rebooted. Still no screen.
Removed my bumper case to make sure I was pressing the button all the way down. Was able to get the little vibrate signal that the power menu prompt popped up but still no screen. Held the power button for 30 seconds. Still nothing.
Finally held down power button + volume up and the device rebooted and the boot animation came up. Screen works fine again.
So I guess the point of this post is to let people know my sets in case the encounter this problem. Hopefully it works for you as well and you don't have to send your device back.

I had a similar situation where I was toggling my nexus 4s brightness settings and when you have it at the darkest setting it is pitch black. Like there's no light on at all. I just had to hit the spot that I did before and bring the light settings back up. So maybe you can boot it up unlock it on the blank screen and two finger pull down and try pressing the light toggle?

it was at ten percent brightness and the screen was completely unresponsive as far as i could tell. doing the power + volume up press made it reboot and return to normal.

Mine did that once too. Exact same thing happened. I was starting to get the feeling in my stomach where my phone had just died and then I hit a random set of buttons and saw the Google logo appear. Must be a software bug.

exactly the same here. felt like i had dropped a baby on it's head haha. i wish i knew a way to figure out what caused it.
My wife and I have been having the same issue, and I'm surprised that there's not more reports of this behavior The worst part is that I use my phone as an alarm, and the alarm won't go off if this happens in the night.
It has happened to me 3 times now, and 2 times in one day for my wife. Holding down the power button for ~20 seconds will cause the reboot, which is the good news. This morning after holding down the power button I noticed the notification light flashing red.
The phone appears to be still on, because if it happens overnight I will still see the white notification light flashing even though the screen won't turn on.
I had this problem on faux123 kernel on the second day after I got my Nexus 4.
Doesn't encounter it on franco.Kernel...
Sleep of death brozillas! Happens to all android phones. Happened to all my phones listed in my signature. You can reboot the device and you should be good. For the dude that's missing his alarm you should do a factory reset if you are stock or if you have root do not set your min cpu values to less than 3xx MHz.

Change chargers, cables. Make sure the charger is 5v 1.2a. Factory reset to stock.
If all that fails, RMA if you can.

I observed the same issue (going to standby, then cannot switch on within an hour) with my [just bought] Nexus 4 (latest 4.2.2 firmware OTA updated, nothing special in setup, second day of use).
Certainly must be difficult to say if it's hardware of software (that is, JB/drivers, since I cannot see how such issue can be caused by any virtual machine application) and when/if the latter will be fixed. I have another such great device already -- ASUS TF700 transformer, with similar "everything works, just reboots occasionally", which I think is enough for me
As with the ASUS Transformer case, I have trouble understanding: if it's the issue with all devices/firmware, although not too frequent -- then why everybody does not complain/return the units massively: the phone is pretty unusable if it cannot be relied upon. If it's just some isolated cases with particular units -- then what happened to QA/testing at LG...
So I guess I am going to return it while I can.
Too bad, good model otherwise, will have to see other phones or wait/observe.
My point is, I understand: fairly new device, can have quite a few faults to be fixed later -- now everybody seem to work that way, for better or worse.
It can have more or less beautiful (or ugly) designs, more or less features, larger or smaller batteries/working time; it can have problems with data connectivity, it can have better or worse browser (or the lack thereof completely). I'm fine with the lack of text reflow in Chrome although that was surprising.
One thing a phone/communicator/PDA absolutely cannot do, provided its battery is not empty, is going into "sleep of death"-like states -- it just cannot serve its purpose then, I cannot see how people sell it at all...
I have had a similar issue before, but i have experienced it when my phone has been through one of 2 sets of scenarios.
1 - It gets really warm and the screen becomes unresponsive, dead if you will. The hard reboot fixes this.
2 - When the signal to my phone is sporadic. An example of this would be my recent trip to London. I was on the underground quite a lot, and I'd lose signal quite often whilst travelling. On a couple of occasions i had to reboot my phone the hard way to get it going again.
Hope this helps?
In my case the device was lying near me on the sofa, the time between its going to standby and my attempt to switch it on was something within 1 hour. Nothing especially intensive had been done before.
BTW, while the phone was in that state, trying to call it resulted in long tones, i.e., apparently the radio/cell was online.
Hope this will help somebody, I returned mine.
Good evening. First post but long time lurker. My N4 is unrooted and on 4.2.2. I'm troubled with this as well especially so when the alarm doesn't ring in the morning after it's crashed overnight and I'm late for work!
Not sure if this is relevant though. I don't listen to music frequently on my N4 but the 3 times it had crashed overnight I had been listening to music before going to bed. Twice using Google music being streamed via my home wifi and once using poweramp with music on internal memory. I remember on 2 occasions the phone feeling rather hot as I was plugging the charger in as I was about to turn in.
I suspect there's a process that's causing the the phone to overload/ overheat and then switch off as a result. Because it's plugged in, it'll just continue to charge overnight and present you with a 100% battery in the morning once you've got it to reset again.
I have also found that doing a soft reset before going to bed prevents this from happening.
Just my observations.
Hi all, I got my Nexus 4 a week ago to replace a broken HTC One X (The cost of repairs was almost equal to the cost of a new Nexus 4). Since I got it, SoD happened twice, both times when I left it to charge overnight. The weird thing is that I have this LED application that blinks the notification light when charging with screen off. When I unplugged the phone, the LED was still blinking as if charging, so the phone is definitely not dead. I will try to set it to day-dream while charging and see if it helps. If it does, it might be considered a way of Google encouraging developers (like myself) to create more daydream apps .
Good morning from beyond the pond,
had the same thing happening as described in the first post solution (pressing POWER+VOL UP) helped to reboot my device.
Only thing that was showing was the led, flashing a blueish white light.
Now runs again on rasbeanjelly. Thanks to OP.
EDIT: since this happened the first time, I thought about what I had altered in my setup.
Only thing that was new was "Greenify". Maybe it sent the APEX launcher into standby?!
Having same problem on my 1 week older n4, my friend having the same problem . only thing in commune we have is the WHATSAPP app that once the phone restart it give a notification that the phone date is wrong,once I look at the date settings yes it is wrong, it says 1970 ,so I have to reset it. It does it every time the problem happens ,can this be a clue???

I'm having similar problems.
The first time I believe it was just an issue of slight overheating. I turned off the screen but left Google Maps running & put it in my bag. It didn't actually turn off, but the screen didn't want to come on when I took it out later. I did notice it was hot, and after it cooled for a couple mins, it worked fine again. I haven't done this again, and so far, so good.
However, now, on occasion the phone won't respond to the power button. I've never had to actually do a reset - it will eventually decide to work after a couple of presses.. but when it does, it will be slow to come on. The screen will be backlit (but black) for a few seconds, then it will load and respond as normal.
Since the light comes on prior to the screen, it seems like a software rather than hardware issue to me. If the screen was damaged, I don't think it would act that way. I don't know phones, but that's my intuition. I'm going to try and remember to turn it off on occasion and see if that helps. I don't think it's been reset since the last push update.
(I'm rooted, but stock)
Greetings.
Today the power switch from my Note stopped working.
I found a website that will replace it for an original Samsung one, but I would like to ask if anyone has a better alternative here on the US.
This is the one I got:
http://mobiletechvideos.mybigcommerce.com/samsung-galaxy-note-power-button-repair/
Also, it is weird that now that the power button doesn't work at all, I have to take out the battery to "turn off" the phone. But when I put the battery back on, the phone turns itself on. Is that normal behavior?
Thank you in advance.
if the phone is working as usual, then instead of removing the battery to switch the phone off, use any widget from the playstore to power off the phone. this way it will power off fine. may be its because the power button is messed up.
After 14 days of having the power switch in a nonworking state, today I woke up, and lo and behold, the damn switch started the work again.
Now I can turn off the phone normally, everything is normal now.
I didn't do anything special, nothing at all.
Before, I couldn't turn off the phone even with apps like QuickOff, thats allows the phone to reboot, turn off and etc, so I had to take the battery out every time.
I have no explanation.
You got lucky there :thumbup:

So, I think it is just because the power button gets sticky. I was having a similar problem, except that it was working intermittently; sometimes it would turn the phone off, sometimes it would bring up the shutdown screen; and sometimes it would work like it was supposed to. Probably yours started working when whatever was making it stick got dislodged. What I did was just press the button REAALLLY hard for a while while the battery was out. It's been about 24 hours and I haven't had any problems yet, fingers crossed. Another guy in a different thread just wiggled it around. Probably if you take the whole board off you could remove the power button and reinstall it or something, though it seems no one has had to go that far yet. Anyway, if anyone else runs into this problem, just mess around with the button until it starts working again. Though, as always, if you break it, its not my fault.
Hi, I am using a galaxy Note in India and it is about 14 months old. I was working on internet and it freezes in between, so this time it wont even turn off or give any option when I pressed power button so I took the battery off after about waiting for 10 min. Then I turned it back ON It gave me error Encryption Failed Reset your phone.
I again tried to restart the phone, Still the same error. I again tried to restart and this time it wont even start Nothing happen just a dead screen.
1. Battery charge is full
2. it wont turn on and when pressing vdown + middle button + power button nothing happens just black screen always.
3. Taken the battery off number of times and then also tried, No Luck.
4 Even the computer wont even recognize it.
Its just a Dead Screen no movement in screen tried all possible step No luck , it all happened suddenly.

How are you sure that the battery is good and charged. Normally after one year if the usage is heavy, the chances of battery down happens. So make sure battery is good. Secondly you mentioned volume down button, how about vol up button ie recovery mode?

This happened to me as well last week. Tried everything but failed.
I did below steps and my phone is up & working
1) Remove the battery and keep it in a dry place for 4-6 hours (Very important step to make this work)
2) Place the battery back into computer and do not turn ON the phone
3) Plug the phone to wall charger and charge the phone for at least an Hour (I kept for 2 Hrs)
4) Remove the charger and gently press the power button for 15 secs
5) This should turn the phone back ON
Above steps helped for me. Let me know if this worked for you also :angel:

Ankush,
In your case I can think of only 2 things
1) If you have CWM installed then
press and hold "Volume UP Key + Power Key + Home Key" all together for 30 secs (may be a min) and see if you get recovery screen
If yes then all is ok & you just need to flash a new ROM
2) If you do not have CWM then
press and hold "Volume Down Key + Power Key + Home Key" all together for 30 secs (may be a min) and see if you get a custom screen
If yes then you can install custom ROM (or original ROM) using ODIN.
Let me know if anything helps you here

Same kind of error
Over the night my phone closed. When I try to open it, on the screen apeared "Insert PIN to decrypt your ~something~ ". I never encrypted my phone so I tried to restart. I got stuck on the samsung logo. Then I removed the battery and put it back in and my device never started again. I have 2 batteries and none of them worked. I can charge the batteries independently and this is not the issue.

Have the same problem right now.. did you find a solution eventually?
Same happened to my device today. Had trouble with some apps before. Wanted to play back a two days old backup. But my phone never woke up again. Shut down forever. Never got to recovery. Had the latest cm11 nightly. Now its dead! RIP. My dear friend. We've gone a long way together. Never intended to replace you anytime soon. But I can't be without a Phone. Moving on to Galaxy S5 now. Hope it can fill the gapp.
Same here, completely dead after a reboot. I took it apart but I see no damage or signs of burn damage anywhere on the motherboard or other components. Is there anything I can do to troubleshoot and find out specifically what happened?
i am not sure, mayb the phone is design to last for only certain years, new apps launch make the phone in applicable for be running with latest apps and everything. Or mayb the phone is design with a timer to self destroy its chip or component after specific numbers of days being used??
Hi all,
We got our Nook HD+ on Wednesday. I was intending to root it and install CM 10.1 but haven't even got that far before problems have started. I thought I'd post this just in case anyone else had the same problem. When the problem first started, it still should have had plenty of charge left. I had been using it to read a book and play a game earlier in the day. I turned it off after use; now it won't boot back up again. The backlight seems to come on for a few seconds but then goes off. Holding Power and 'n' does nothing except turn the backlight on as previously mentioned.
We have not modded this device in anyway, neither is there a micro-SD card in the device. It is now fully charged but still presenting the same issue.
If anyone has come across this before, or knows another way to do a hard reset, please let me know.
Thanks, Peter
Let it charging for a while then try what you did again.

Did you try holding the power button for like 15 seconds, releasing and then briefly hold the power button? If you hold it too long, it turns itself back off.
If you tried that and are sure it is charged and it does not turn on, it is a hardware issue and it is time for a warranty exchange at the B&N store.

Had a similar issue the first time... Power it on... Plug the charger, leave it with the screen looking like this and wait 20 minutes. Reboot and check if it boots properly. If not, try rebooting by holding the power button and the volume buttons simultaneously...

Thanks. I went on the Nook UK support chat and they couldn't instruct me to get it started again. It's been returned and hopefully our replacement will be on the way soon. Possible hardware fault was the suggestion.
Recently, I've noticed that my phone's screen completely blacks out while the phone is still working. So, if you plug in your charger, it'll play that charger connect notification sound if you use the fingerprint, it'll unlock the phone but nothing comes up on the screen. It'd be completely blacked out. This has happened to to me twice and has me got worried now. No matter for how long you hold the power button, nothing happens. Right now, it seems that the phone corrects the default by itself after leaving it aside for a good 10-15 minutes. Has anyone of you faced this?
Yep, unfortunately happens, though rarely . Mentioned in few other threads.
Happened to me thrice. Yesterday was the last go. You can reboot with Vol up + power.
It's an annoying bug, I'll admit that.
For me the same, two or three times last two weeks, I think some bug in Pie, because before there was nothing like thies

Experienced it thrice. The first time I experienced it was last August (Android 8.1 Oreo), then October and today. I didn't think this was the new Android 9 Pie's fault as I experienced it when my phone was on Android 8.1 Oreo. Also one thing I noticed is that even if the screen is not showing up, the touch controls are still active. So I managed to restart it normally my phone by press hold the power for a second and feel the default location of the restart.

Mine would just not restart. Or maybe I was touching the wrong portion of the screen... Afterall, it was all blacked out
Same, holding the power button vibrates the phone and touching the screen does make it vibrate sometimes, but Vol up + power does not do anything. Screen is still black.

It happened to me last month for the very first time and hopefully will never again in future!
I can't recall if I was pressing the right key combination but for several times it would just vibrate and then nothing. I had to call customer care from my secondary device to check what can be done who were pathetic to tell me to take it to the nearest service center. Then, I eventually tried the Power button + volume up and then it rebooted and went back to normal.
I was so shook with this incident, I hope it never happens to anyone. I've been using this device since 7 months now and it never happened to me when on Oreo. This device is getting more and more pathetic with each new update!
Hi,
sorry for necromancing the thread. It happened to me today too, for the first time. If anyone else stumbles upon this thread, then this is absolutely easiest solution:
1, Hold down power button until it vibrates
2, The screen is black, but the touchscreen still works. The easiest one to touch is the power off button, because it is right next to the power button So simply tap on the display right next to your power button after you feel the vibration, and you will tap the power off button. Wait a few seconds, then hold power button again to turn the phone on again.
Same happens to me. I hold down the power button until it vibrates, release, take a deep breath, tap button again and it is back.
Happened to me as well ?
Hi,
I just bought this smartphone nokia 7 plus TA-1046 4G/64G dual sim. I could parameter it and after only 2 hours of use: total black-out! I could still feel vibrating keys despite the black screen. I ve been able to force the restart by pression power button + sound level up, but the screen remained desperately black. I tried to charge it well for 1 hour, same ****. Surprisingly, I removed the sim card and the SD card and It restarted normally.
Pretty scary! Will it happen again? What was the pb? A SD card conflict? Shall I format the SD card maybe? Or buy a top quality SD card? A sim card conflict? Shall I keep the phone or send it back to the shop?
Did anyone narrow down a potential SD card cause as well for this kind of glitch?
Thanks.

Happened to me also couple of times.
One time happened just before I wanted to show off my phone to my friend. I had to keep my phone in my pocket for like 10-15 minutes, lol, I was embarrassed because I praised this phone, and praised Android One, because he was considering this phone to buy, for at the end he went with the P20 Lite.
F***you HMD
Re happened again
Just 1 hour ago my nokia 7 plus re black out again! Had to wait 1 hour to re start it. Then, it worked 5 mins and black screen again. That s enough => I ll ask for a product return and refund.
Btw: i don't have blackout problem using daily N7p for 10months...
Have you guys tried formatting the phone ? I had clearing cache issues when I set font size and screen size small. It will clear the cache very slowly and eventually it will struck. But it was solved after I tried default font size and display size. Looks like every model got its own issues.

I used to use 600dp for the tablet UI chrome. For easy tab switching.
